[color=royalblue] Nobody's saying you're wrong.

He was killed in Nsukka by Nigerian soldiers,but he did not die as a Biafran soldier

Or do you have any source that labelled him as one? I'd love to learn[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue] Yes, by Nigerian soldiers. But he didn't die as a Biafran soldier

Unlimited22:
Nzeogwu died as a Biafran soldier?

Eruditor:
2. The original coup was not an Igbo coup. The head of the coup Major Kaduna Nzeogwu before and after the coup maintained that he was a Northerner by blood. He did not even speak Igbo and never identified as igbo (only by name). He maintained that he was a northerner and he spoke fluent Hausa. (Videos of him saying this are online).

raumdeuter:
There is no way anyone can discuss the civil war and its fallout without starting from the January 1966 coup

The summary of the coup is this

The coup was planned and executed by majority Ibo soldiers

Nigeria had 4 regions

2 ruled by non Ibos(Bello and Akintola), 2 ruled by Ibos (Okpara and Osadebey)

The 2 non Ibo premiers were killed, the 2 Ibo premiers were spared
There was Zik a president(Ibo) and Balewa a Prime minister(non Ibo). The Prime minister was killed and the president spared

There were several Ibo cabinet members None of them was killed. Actually some of the coupist saw them when they were on rampage and did not touch them

Lets reverse the situation and imagine a group of Hausa soldiers killed the 2 Ibo premiers and spared the 2 non Ibos, Killed Zik spared Balewa, Killed many top ranking Ibo soldiers and spared most of the Hausas senior men

What will you term that if not a Power grab
==================================================
And regarding whether Ojukwu released Awolowo or not. I will leave you to make your own deduction.

These are the facts we can all agree on.
1. Awolowo was a Federal Prisoner,
2. He was released.
3. Gowon welcomed him and made him a cabinet minister.

Given the above facts tell me what you think will happen if Ojukwu released Awolowo?

Ojukwu released Awolowo. What do you think would have happened to Awolowo if his release was not sanctioned by Gowon when he entered Lagos. e.g if Buhari as President jails someone say Nnamdi Kanu in Port Harcourt jail, Can Wike release him? If he was released by Wike, what do you think will happen to Kanu the moment he steps back into Abuja? Do you think Buhari will go and welcome him? And let him become a free walking man and even appoint him in his cabinet?

donjazet:
Don't forget that the aim of the coup was to install awolowo as the leader of Nigeria.
A lot of average Nigerians actually supported the coup attempt based on its initial premise which was to eliminate all corrupt government politicians.
Even today, I'm sure people will be very happy if people wiped out the likes of Obj, babangida, ty danjuma, wike etc etc.

Yes I agree firmly with you that the current setting of Nigeria is not working and there should be a total restructuring of Nigeria and its components.

donjazet:
You are forgetting that by then, there was already bad blood between the two, and Ojukwu couldn't care less about how gowon felt.

donjazet:
It is unarguable that Obasanjo led the final assault that finally conquered biafra, so we can easily discredit that.

However, of your own personal opinion, do you think the refusal to allow the secession of biafra was the right decision?

donjazet:
@ the bolded, there is already likely version as to why that happened. Awo and zik had formed an alliance earlier in the 50's which went awry.

See this article I read below.

afrodoc2:
Exactly right.

I have read Why we struck (Ademoyega), Because i am involved (Ojukwu), Not my will (Obasanjo), Madiebo's book, Sunset in Biafra (Amadi), Chukwuemeka Ike's novel (Sunset at Dawn)

The story you read depends on who is telling it.

donjazet:
Raumdeuter, I would like to pick your brain on this subject matter, as you know our history has been soo distorted, it's difficult to know facts. it has been hotly debated that Ojukwu freed awolowo himself on the agreement that himself and the Yoruba would secede from Nigeria but upon his release changed his mind.
I just read an article on Sahara reporters that stirs my inquisition.
If they did infact agree, why do you think awolowo reneged on the agreement?

Cc blueraydick, larride, Ibime etc.

Pastor, why you wan sneak Hazard name inside? Which era did he dominate?

afrodoc2:

The general level of football is not higher than now. I don't think anybody would argue otherwise.

Advances in training, diet, medicine, ball technology, pitch quality means players will continue to get better.

With regards to comparing great players from different eras, it is more about comparing how dominant each player was in his era and trying to assess how they would do against each other if they all had the same environmental factors.

To avoid any argument let us watch this clip from the final showing Charlton scoring 2 goals en route to victory. Hopefully there is a close up of the medals.

Of course, they wont tell you what to do directly. Tbh....thats the reason why they've chosen to use smart graduates who can read between the lines.

Dont you think you need to know the consequences you're asking these people to damn first? What if it involves their life and those of their family members and associates? I've you sat down to think about this?

I've seen people have their lives ruined for crossing the powers that be. I've experienced some aspect of this personally. Its noble and good to damn the consequences, but you need to first know the consequences you're damning and the repercussions that will surely follow my brother.

Nobody go protect you o! It's either you avoid anything linked to government or ready die ontop when you enter and choose not to play games.

My own is that, don't these politicians travel abroad and see how things are done. Baba has traveled the globe, the governors and ministers have all gone abroad to witness how things work but they all chose to be stupid. How hard is it to better the lives of your citizens.. they get to power and only want to secure their pockets and the future of their children.
Five years is enough to actually do something significant.. five years and you still constructing rail lines in a route no bigger than some states in other countries.
How hard is it to investigate murders or tell SARS to stop killing young boys or order the military or police to respect civilian rights.. It's not even possible when they have turned a whole DSS to a kidnapping organisation.
The blame goes round as our governors are equally incompetent... It's time we stopped demanding less from these politicians and hold them accountable for everything. They have done nothing and deserves no praise..
Every issue is important, a government that turns blind eye on killings happening in the country whether by Police, Army, Herdsmen and so on surely don't care about it's citizens.
24 hours light dey sweet, driving on good roads is heaven, going to the police station an they give you your balance after you paid 50 dollars for something is Nice... That's after greeting you how are you sir when you entered..
Having Ambulance come pick you up in less than five minutes of calling shouldn't be that hard to do, doctors go soon japa finish from our country cos the difference is clear abroad.
Make I Siddons chop the 600k in naira I was paid by the government and school.... It's nothing compared to tuition fees but then ... All they wanted was for us to show we still schooling.. I didn't have to belong to any political party or come from Katsina...

When I stopped believing everything I read on papers na when useless Ewu of ebonyi won the best Governor in education that year. Same state that had me teaching the entire secondary school class mathematics as a corper. Something wey I never see for my entire life before until I got to Ebonyi state.

Same useless Ewu was buying pages on newspapers to launder his image and claim he's built modern class rooms when most classes had no roof , chairs or tables in several schools I visited while I served in that state.

My brother....who no go no go understand.
